Agaricus sylvicola is a species of mushroom that grows in association with trees, typically in woodland environments. In East and Central Texas, it is commonly found in oak and pine woods, often fruiting in the summer and fall months. The cap is 3-6 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to convex, and reddish-brown to brown in color, with a ring on the stem. The gills are free from the stem and pinkish-brown at maturity, turning chocolate-brown with age. It has a mild, sweet odor and taste, and is considered edible by some, but can be confused with poisonous lookalikes.

Gills of wood mushroom (Agaricus sylvicola) on Kiwanis Nature Trail. College Station, Texas, November 17, 20171120 Ashburn Ave, College Station, TX 77840, USAObservations of Agaricus sylvicola in East and Central Texas reveal the fungus growing in various locations. In Bee Creek Park, College Station, the wood mushroom was found on a nature trail on October 22, 2017, with notable gill structures. Further observations in the same park on November 16, 2017, showed multiple wood mushrooms. On Kiwanis Nature Trail, also in College Station, the fungus was spotted on November 17, 2017, again with distinctive gills. The repeated sightings suggest that Agaricus sylvicola is relatively common in this region, particularly in areas with suitable habitat such as nature trails and parks. The observations spanned from October to November, indicating a possible fall season peak for the fungus in East and Central Texas. The species appears to thrive in these environments.
